New Paltz

Lisa and I went up to Joe T's in New Paltz for (what seems to be) our annual Catskill Autumn Trip. We go up there around 9 (I think), and went right out to Bacchus. Surprisingly, time took us until 1 or 2am before we got to bed.

Saturday was an outing to Woodstock NY to take a hike up Overlook Mtn, followed by some wine back at Joe's. Like many old mountain lodges, the Overlook Mountain House is no longer active/standing, due to fires, vandals, etc. We took a lot of great pictures of the ruins and the fall colors. We went to dinner at the 'Otter, and had the beer sampler. Outside the restaurant, there were bikes for rent, with the donations going to kids with cancer (not the proper title). It certainly was interesting riding the white, rental bikes back to Joe's, all in an altered state. We hung out at Joe's for a little more, then rode the bikes back to the Otter, and walked to Bacchus and the other bars. We finished the night with pizza (not "Angry Pizza", the other place).

Sunday morning brought juevos rancheros from Bacchus, and the mandatory apple picking and apple cider donuts.

Its great to have Joe back in the East. I look forward to taking some ski trips with him this winter. Weekends with Joe never disappoint.
